The values were observed between 2022 and 2024. A place appears only when it publishes this exact metric, so an absent place means missing data rather than a low value. Only published cities with at least 20,000 residents and city-level observations qualify. ## Sources EEA air quality statistics — DE PM2.5 annual mean 2024 (station Schwarzwald-Süd) — https://air.discomap.eea.europa.eu/arcgis/rest/services/AirQuality/AQ_Statistics_WM/MapServer/0/query?where=Country_ISO%3D%27DE%27%20AND%20AirPollutant%3D%27PM2.5%27%20AND%20YearOfStatistics%3D2024&outFields=AirPollutant,AirPollutionLevel,Country_ISO,StationName,YearOfStatistics,UnitOfAirpollutionLevel,ReportingMetric,LatitudeOfMeasurementStation,LongitudeOfMeasurementStation,DataCoverage,Preliminary&returnGeometry=false&f=json European Environment Agency — https://air.discomap.eea.europa.eu/arcgis/rest/services/AirQuality/AQ_Statistics_WM/MapServer/0/query European Environment Agency (EEA) — https://air.discomap.eea.europa.eu/arcgis/rest/services/AirQuality/AQ_Statistics_WM/MapServer/0/query?where=Country_ISO%3D%27DE%27+AND+AirPollutant%3D%27PM2.5%27+AND+YearOfStatistics%3D2024&outFields=AirPollutant%2CAirPollutionLevel%2CCountry_ISO%2CStationName%2CYearOfStatistics%2CUnitOfAirpollutionLevel%2CReportingMetric%2CLatitudeOfMeasurementStation%2CLongitudeOfMeasurementStation%2CDataCoverage%2CPreliminary&returnGeometry=false&f=json Official UBA station observation retained; station lies outside the exact target municipality and is not promoted. — https://www.umweltbundesamt.de/api/air_data/v2/measures/json ## Cite This citation identifies the ImmigrationDB compilation/page.
